First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
First Lines:
A barrage of fire filled the sky.
Talise pulled water from the air, which immediately sent a shaking jolt through her heart. The decision to shape came naturally, but it brought a grim reminder along with it.
Do you recognize the lines?
Hint: It’s a new book by Kay L. Moody.

But if Talise dies, Kamdaria will be lost forever.
